Line 6 Goes Acoustic
Imagine getting the great mic'd up acoustic sound you've always wanted without expensive microphones, EQs, compressors, preamps, and other technical whoo-ha. Imagine being able to plug directly into a PA and get the same unplugged tone you've always wanted at arena volume with no feedback. Imagine recording acoustic guitar in the studio without having to worry about ambient noise, exhaustive setup, and operating room sterility. Well, now you can give your imagination a rest
Line 6 unveiled Variax Acoustic 700, the latest in the Variax line of guitars specifically designed for the guitarist looking to achieve the best acoustic sound for all live or recording applications. Up until now, it has been impossible to tackle all of the issues that the acoustic guitarist faces in the studio and in live situations. Variax Acoustic 700 solves them all in a beautifully crafted thinline guitar with a chambered mahogany body and glossy cedar top. Variax Acoustic 700 gives you access to 16 models of the world's greatest acoustic guitars, as well as exotic instruments like Mandocello, Sitar, and Shamisen, all with the twist of a knob. If that wasn't enough, Variax Acoustic 700 has alternate tunings on the fly and a virtual capo that can take your playing far below the nut. It will ship standard with a custom-fitted gig bag, XPS power supply, and TRS stereo cable.
Variax Acoustic 700 is a breakthrough product for any guitarist, as it provides the best means by which to record great acoustics direct to achieve exquisite, professional results. Its output can be sent direct to a recording device or any standard acoustic amplifier. It will enable guitarists to achieve the best acoustic sounds possible without requiring expensive instruments, microphones and sound-proofed studio space.
Variax Acoustic 700 brings guitarists the perfect acoustic sounds for live performances via direct output to a PA system or standard acoustic amplifier. It is the only acoustic guitar that can handle any high-volume onstage situation without feedback hassles or complex setups.
"Variax Acoustic 700 was developed to create the ultimate acoustic experience for guitarists that play in situations that require microphones or pickups to amplify or record acoustic guitar," said Rich Lasner, director of instrument product lines, Line 6. "No other instrument enables artists to easily create their perfect acoustic sound for live or recording environments, save it and call it up at will without the worries of feedback or ambient noise problems."
Variax Acoustic 700 embodies Line 6's patent-pending guitar modeling technology to offer guitarists instant access to the sounds of a variety of steel-string acoustic, nylon-string classical, resonator and arch-top guitars, as well as non-guitar stringed instruments. The guitar features a set-in mahogany neck, chambered mahogany body and natural finish cedar top.
